Shaw and Smith 2021 Sauvignon Blanc
Australian White
$48.99
A vibrant, polished Sauvignon Blanc with bright peach and citrus at the centre and delicate floral notes adding lift. The palate carries the same energetic fruit across a smooth, lightly creamy texture, avoiding overt green pungency in favour of clarity and balance. A long, refreshing finish keeps the wine poised and food-friendly. Serve well chilled with shellfish, fresh goat cheese or herb-led salads.
